Guest guest Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi all- I'm researching the archives about service dogs. I'd appreciate personal input from anyone who has experienced anything on this topic from getting a dog to research. My son has been writing asking for a dog for a few months now. He is blind (visually impaired) so a service dog would be the best as far as having a dog actually attending to him since locating the dog would be difficult for him. He doesn't qualify for a seeing eye dog because he can't work a dog as much as they need to be worked. Plus you have to know where you are going to guide the dog. We just want a dog that will go to him and be with him, as well as maybe helping with a few minor things. Thanks for any and all input! If you prefer to email me privately my email is: mamapudd@...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I received this last week from Generation Rescue regarding Dogs for the Deaf, Inc, who have a special autism assistance dog program. I am seriously considering this route. Very reasonable costs and I would just love to have a dog like Sadie (pictured at bottom).

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks! I will check it out. My son is all smiles since I told him I was researching dogs. I hadn't even thought to look at GR!
